16-year-old Rhiannon falls for someone named “A” who turns out to be a drifting soul – literally. Every 24 hours, “A” inhabits the body of a different person. This forces Rhiannon to find “A” each day and try to rekindle their romance again and again. Ultimately, she must decide if she’s willing to make this constant sacrifice, even if it means risking the end of her first truly meaningful relationship.

Katie Price has a rare skin disease that makes any amount of exposure to sunlight harmful. The disease will likely kill her over time. As a 17-year-old, she wants to be more than her illness. She wants to know love and adventure. She dreams of a day when she can stand in the sun with the arms of a lover wrapped around her. Katie's life is filled with days that she sleeps through and nights where she explores her town and plays music as a busker. Or, rather, this was her life until one fateful evening when someone she had only seen from afar through protected windows over the years, another teenager named Charlie, approaches her and changes everything for the better.

It all happened way up in the Alps, where the snow is pristine, where chamois and marmots frolic, where soaring peaks scrape the clouds. A solitary little boy meets a stray dog, and so begins a story of enduring friendship. The timeless tale tells the story of how Sebastian tamed Belle; the extraordinary adventures of a resourceful, adorable boy during the Second World War.

Green Book is the real life account of Jamaican born pianist Don Shirley's musical tour through the Deep South during the Jim Crow era. Shirley (Mahershala Ali) enlists the services of rough and tough New York City bouncer Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen) as his personal chauffeur and bodyguard as he performs jazz piano sets through a section of America where he is most unwelcome. While the duo's personalities and lifestyles clash at first, their bond on the road strengthens as they each navigate the culture shock and harsh racism of the 1960s American South in their own ways.
